The right answer is C, as the principle of competition between the musicians was the center of attention during a performance. Who can more? ... Who can better? ... In this way they did their best attracting the audience's attention.

The right answer is A) Cadenzas. They were parts of concerts where musicians played solo. In fact, they could not improvise when played in the ensemble with others, while in solo they had limitless freedom (according to the rules of playing cadenzas and the overall style of the music). Moreover, in sheet music cadenzas were noted only generally without details giving an opportunity to the performer to invent it.
